Our First Giveaway!

Through the generosity of Oxford University Press, we have received five copies of the new book Children and Environmental Toxins: What Everyone Needs to Know by Philip J. Landrigan and Mary M. Landrigan to share with our followers. This book is an essential reference for parents, parents-to-be, community advocates, and anyone else committed to healthier children and a healthier environment.

The book contains practical, actionable advice for mitigating the threat of chemical toxins in one’s home and environment. It is an accessible guide to the chemical threats in children’s environments and food, authored by two of the foremost researchers and advocates in the field of pediatrics and environmental health. It also includes coverage of the most misunderstood and pressing topics in this area, including childhood diseases (autism, asthma, ADHD, obesity, diabetes, and even birth defects) that have grown in occurrence alongside the rise of new chemicals in our environment.
